THANK YOU for choosing the N-audio FX-Loop Switcher,

and welcome to the N-audio family.

Introduction:
The FX-Loop Switcher is an extension unit designed to
expand the Two Amps To Cabinet Switcher capabilities. It allows
for simultaneous switching of the amplifiers and the FX effects
connected to the Send-Return chain, ensuring that the selected
FX effects are routed to the active amplifier. The entire system
provides seamless operation, making it a straightforward
solution for flexible noise-free switching between favorite
amplifiers and your FX effects.
Connections:
To Return Amp A: Connect to the return of Amplifier A
From Send Amp A:Connect to the send of Amplifier A
To Return Amp B: Connect to the return of Amplifier B
From Send Amp B:Connect to the send of Amplifier B
From FX Output: Connect to the output of the last FX effect
To FX Input: Connect to the input of the first FX effect
Ext. Control: Connect to the Footcontroller
Use mono 1/4" guitar cables for all connections
The unit features two Ext. Control jack plugs wired in parallel
internally, offering flexibility and the option to power all units from
the STEREO set. The second Ext. Control is exclusively an
extender for controlling one additional unit.
Typical FX Wiring Setup:
Place the FX-Loop Switcher near your amplifiers. Connect the
Footcontroller, the FX-Loop Switcher, and the Relay unit as
shown. This method reduces the cables between the
pedalboard and the amplifiers and is preferred. One output from
the Footcontroller remains available for controlling an additional
set for STEREO wiring.

When using the MONO setup and the FX-Loop Switcher sits
on your pedalboard, you can power the Relay unit from the
second Footcontroller output as well.
Powering the Entire System:
The Two Amps To Cabinet system is powered by the external
power supply connected to the Footcontroller. The FX-Loop
Switcher extension and the Relay Unit are powered by the
mono jacks connected to the Ext. Control.
Wiring amplifiers without FX-Loop:
For amplifiers or combos lacking Send-Return FX section, the
only solution is to feed directly FX effects, such as delay or
reverb, into their input. Here is a wiring setup, where Amplifier A
does not have a Send-Return FX Loop:

Reduce the risk of ground loops by using an isolated power


supply for effects connected before the amplifier and those
linked to the FX section!
To prevent ground loops, ensure that the jacks on your FX
loop effects do not come into contact with the jacks of other
effects on the pedalboard!
Technical Specifications:
• Galvanically isolated passive relay routing
• No active electronics through the signal path
• LED indication for the active Amplifier FX loop
• Current Consumption: 70mA
• Dimensions: 10x11x3.5 cm
